Manufactured Home Performance Case Study: A Preliminary Comparison of Zero Energy and Energy Star

The Zero Energy Manufactured Home (ZEMH) Project employs innovative energy-saving technologies. A comparison (base) home was built to the Pacific Northwest’s Energy Star Program requirements. Tests were conducted and remote monitoring equipment installed to track the energy performance of each home. This paper presents the field testing results, preliminary monitoring results, and a description of the technologies used in the home. The impacts of occupant behavior on energy use are also discussed.
